SCOUNDRELS, RAKES, AND ROGUES BEWARE . . .
Lady Julianne Gatewick is in a pickle. It started when her brother’s best friend—for whom she’s long nursed a secret tendre—agreed to act as her guardian for the Season, only to seduce her with a risqué waltz.
But when the music stopped and the expectant ton waited for the Earl of Hawkfield to claim her as his own, he made his disinterest clear. Rather than succumb to humiliation, Julianne does what any recently discarded, wickedly witty young miss would do. She secretly pens a lady’s guide to enticing unrepentant rakes . . . and it becomes the hottest scandal in London.
Every honorable rake knows that friends’ sisters are forbidden. But suddenly Julianne has a spark of mischief in her eyes that Hawk can’t resist. Try as he might to push her away, he spends his days listening for her laughter and his nights dreaming of her kisses. He’s always avoided innocents and their marriage-minded mothers, but has the man least likely to wed finally met his match?
My thoughts:
As the little sister of his best friend, Hawk knows Julianne is off limits. But she stirs something in him. Something he is not familiar with. At first he tries to do the right thing, but as time goes by he can’t deny his growing attraction to this feisty young woman. But Hawk has a very sordid past and a secret.
Julianne has loved Hawk all her life, but in the last four years she has fallen head over heels in love with him. Her goal this season is to make him fall in love with her. But sometimes the object of your affection doesn’t always return that affection. Julianne grows over the course of the season from a young girl with fantasies of love to a woman who understands that love is not always as easy as saying those three little words.
I really, really enjoyed How to Seduce a Scoundrel. This is book 2 in Vicky’s fan named the “How to Series”. Book 1 is How to Marry a Duke. I have to admit I cried in this book multiple times. So if you are a crier like me, you have be warned… ☺ There is so much going on between Hawk & Julianne. The sexual tension alone makes you want to scream “Hawk get over yourself and go get the woman you love.”
How to Seduce a Scoundrel is a great emotional roller coaster of two people who when given a chance will love with everything they have.
